The eye communicates with you by changing its color. When nobody is watching, it is green. When somebody (or somethings) requests the webcams public URL, the eye turns to yellow and starts (pulsating / rotating). The more requests , the more red the color is and faster the lights move.

The eye of the Internet makes one aware that Internet not only knows everything, but is also sees everything, courtesy of the many Webcams at the space.

The eye communicates with you by changing its color. When nobody is watching, it is green. When someone (or something) starts watching webcam 1, the eye turns to blue, then yellow, orange and red. When more than 5 streams are active, the eye turns white.
